Continuous relations and generalized sets
Let A be an analytic family of sequences of sets of integers. We show that either A is dominated or it contains a continuum of almost disjoint sequences. From this we obtain a theorem by Shelah that a Suslin c.c.c. forcing adds a Cohen real if it adds an unbounded real.
Using a theorem from pcf theory, we show that for any singular cardinal ν, the product of the Cohen forcing notions on κ, κ < ν, adds a generic for the Cohen forcing notion on .
We give several examples of Souslin forcing notions. For instance, we show that there exists a proper analytical forcing notion without ccc and with no perfect set of incompatible elements, we give an example of a Souslin ccc partial order without the Knaster property, and an example of a totally nonhomogeneous Souslin forcing notion.
If an extension V ⊆ V̅ satisfies the δ approximation and cover properties for classes and V is a class in V̅, then every suitably closed embedding j: V̅ → N̅ in V̅ with critical point above δ restricts to an embedding j ↾ V amenable to the ground model V. In such extensions, therefore, there are no new large cardinals above δ. This result extends work in [Ham01].
We prove that-consistently-in the space ω* there are no P-sets with the ℂ-cc and any two fat P-sets with the ℂ⁺-cc are coabsolute.
Consider the poset where is an arbitrary -ideal -generated by a projective collection of closed sets. Then the extension is given by a single real of an almost minimal degree: every real is Cohen-generic over or .
Many forcing notions obtained using the creature technology are naturally connected with certain integer games.
The paper contains a self-contained alternative proof of my Theorem in Characterization of generic extensions of models of set theory, Fund. Math. 83 (1973), 35–46, saying that for models of ZFC with same ordinals, the condition implies that is a -C.C. generic extension of .

We present principles for guessing clubs in the generalized club filter on . These principles are shown to be weaker than classical diamond principles but often serve as sufficient substitutes. One application is a new construction of a λ⁺-Suslin-tree using assumptions different from previous constructions. The other application partly solves open problems regarding the cofinality of reflection points for stationary subsets of .
Questa è la prima parte di una articolo espositivo dedicato ai teoremi di assolutezza, un argomento che sta assumendo un’importanza via via più grande in teoria degli insiemi. In questa prima parte vedremo come le questioni di teoria dei numeri non siano influenzate da assunzioni insiemistiche quali l’assioma di scelta o l’ipotesi del continuo.
